Dodgy skin, wonky eyes

by FeR on December 10, 2009 in new to me

Great.
Apart from skin woes, my eyes decide to join the fun.

Passed my road code test (35 out of 35, yo! :hee: ) but failed the eyesight screening check! I couldn’t see a thing through that look-through-darkness-thingamajig.
:bum:

She said, “Can you read row 7, column 3?”

FeR: *silence*

“Can you see the entire row 2?”

FeR: *silence*

(By the way, the letters on line 2 are bigger than line 7)

Thinking about it now, maybe I should’ve attempted reading those lines again but from a further distance. I remember seeing letters clearly when I was moving nearer to the machine but once I was at the “right” spot, everything was blur. Instead of moving my face back, I tried to stuff my face into the machine.
:pfft:

Why did I think I MUST go nearer to see it instead of moving away? Why do I think of it now?! BLERGH!

Anyway, optometrist appointment at 1140am for the basic test. In the event if I fail it, I have to pay $98 for a full test AND get prescription glasses. Otherwise I CAN NOT DRIVE! Sei lor, what hole have I dug up for myself this time? To think I was so worried about the theory test I didn’t think of the other components.
For licence conversion, they usually issue a temp licence when you pass the road code but because I didn’t pass the eyesight screening – no temp licence! I won’t be able to take my practical driving test if I fail my basic eye test, too. Great.

Summore so gung-ho wake up early on my day off to get my test done to avoid the crowd.
:bum:

I hope it goes well.
